FOOTNOTES TO CHAPTER XIV
[548] Schultens’s edition, 1735, in Arabic and Latin, was used by me in annotating the English translation for Pal. Pil. Texts Society in 1897.
[549] Shirkoh died early in Jan., 1169; El ’Adid, Sept. 13, 1171; and Nûr-ed-Dîn on May 15, 1174.

[551] Quoted in Besant and Palmer’s “Jerusalem,” 1871, p. 356.
[552] The Christian account makes it about 4¼ bezants (30 shillings) and the Moslem account 10 dinars (70 shillings) for a man. They agree that two women or ten children paid the same as one man. Perhaps the 30 shillings was the ransom for a poor man, and 70 shillings for the rich.

[554] Ibid., pp. 91, 92.
[555] The seventh month of the Moslem lunar year, answering to October about this time.

[558] The second Crusade was an armed pilgrimage of King Louis VII. of France in 1147 A. D., with a futile attack on Damascus (“Latin Kingdom of Jer.,” pp. 108–12).

[571] The roof of the Dome of the Rock was destroyed by fire in 1448 (Mejîr ed Dîn), but this does not mean the Dome. Later texts refer to the work of Turkish sulṭâns. Suleimân in 1520 cased the bases and upper blocks of the pillars in the Dome of the Rock with marble, and gave the beautiful coloured windows in 1528. The doors were restored in 1564, and the wooden ceiling of the outer arcade was renewed in 1776. The latest restorations were those of Sulṭân Maḥmûd in 1830, and of ’Abd el ’Azîz in 1873–5. The Kishâni tiles of the exterior bear the date 1561 A. D. (see back, [p. 253]).
